    TABLE 1 GEOLOGIC FIELD-TRAINING OF NASA ASTRONAUTS BETWEEN JANUARY 1963 AND NOVEMBER 1972 The following is a year-by-year listing of the astronaut geologic field training trips planned and led by personnel from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Branches of Astrogeology and Surface Planetary Exploration, in collaboration with the Geology Group at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas at the request of NASA between January 1963 and November 1972. Regional geologic experts from the U.S. Geological Survey and other governmental organizations and universities s also played vital roles in these exercises. [The early training (between 1963 and 1967) involved a rather large contingent of astronauts from NASA groups 1, 2, and 3. For another listing of the astronaut geologic training trips and exercises, including all attending and the general purposed of the exercise, the reader is referred to the following website containing a contribution by William Phinney (Phinney, book submitted to NASA/JSC; also http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/ap-geotrips.pdf).] 1963 16-18 January 1963: Meteor Crater and San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona (9 astronauts). Among the nine astronaut trainees in Flagstaff for that initial astronaut geologic training exercise was Neil Armstrong--who would become the first man to step foot on the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969! The other astronauts present included Frank Borman (Apollo 8), Charles "Pete" Conrad (Apollo 12), James Lovell (Apollo 8 and the near-tragic Apollo 13), James McDivitt, Elliot See (killed later in a plane crash), Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10), Edward White (later killed in the tragic Apollo 1 fire at Cape Canaveral), and John Young (Apollo 16).

  • Nasa X-15 Program
    5 24,132 6 9 NASA X-15 PROGRAM By: T.D. Barnes - NASA Contractor - 1960s NASA contractors for the X-15 program were Bendix Field Engineering followed by Unitec, Inc. The NASA High Range Tracking stations were located at Ely and Beatty Nevada with main control being at Dryden/Edwards AFB in California. Personnel at the tracking stations consisted of a Station Manager, a Technical Advisor, and field engineers for the Mod-2 Radar, Data Transmission System, Communications, Telemetry, and Plant Maintenance/Generators. NASA had a site monitor at each tracking station to monitor our contractor operations. Though supporting flights of the X-15 was their main objective, they also participated in flights of the XB-70, the three Lifting Bodies, experimental Lunar Landing vehicles, and an occasional A-12/YF-12/SR-71 Blackbird flight. On mission days a NASA van picked up each member of the crew at their residence for the 4:20 a.m. trip to the tracking station 18 miles North of Beatty on the Tonopah Highway. Upon arrival each performed preflight calibrations and setup of their various systems. The liftoff of the B-52, with the X-15 tucked beneath its wing, seldom occurred after 9:00 a.m. due to the heat effect of the Mojave Desert making it difficult for the planes to acquire altitude. At approximately 0800 hours two pilots from Dryden would proceed uprange to evaluate the condition of the dry lake beds in the event of an emergency landing of the X-15 (always buzzing our station on the way up and back).

Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.North American Aviation s X-15 rocket plane flew at Mach 6.72 and at altitudes above 67 miles -- at the threshold of space. The men who piloted this amazing plane became the USAF s first astronauts. Powered by an XLR-99 engine capable of producing 70,000 pounds of thrust at peak altitude, the X-15 pushed the flight envelope for manned aircra past the post oice. Notably, both Apollo astronaut Neil Armstrong and Space Shuttle commander Joe Engle piloted the X-15. Originally published by North American for the USAF and later NASA, this Flight Operating Handbook represents a 1963 update of the original version first printed in 1961.

  • Steve Fossett
    2 0 1 7 Steve Fossett Steve Fossett was an American entrepreneur and traveler best known for circumnavigating the world in a Roziere balloon in 2002. “A Rozière balloon (or simply Rozière) is a type of hybrid balloon that has separate chambers for a non-heated lifting gas (such as hydrogen or helium) as well as for a heated lifting gas (as used in a hot air balloon or Montgolfière). The design was created by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier (1754..1785).” He was an American busi- nessman and a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer. He was the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon. He made his fortune in the financial services industry and was best known for many world rec- ords, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot. He was born in Jackson, Tennessee and grew up in Garden Grove, California, where he graduated from Garden Grove High School. His interest in adventure began early. As a Boy Scout, he grew up climbing the mountains of California, beginning with the San Jacinto Mountains."When I was 12 years old I climbed my first mountain, and I just kept going, taking on more diverse and grander projects." He did not have a natural gift for athletics or team sports, so he focused on activities that required persistence and endurance. His father, an Eagle Scout, encouraged him to pursue these types of adventures and encouraged him to become involved with the Boy Scouts early.

  • Nick Saum LTA Resume
    Nicholas M. Saum, PhD Inducted into the U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame on July 28, 2019 By the Balloon Federation of America at the National Balloon Museum in Indianola, Iowa Nicholas M. Saum, PhD, contributed selflessly to the field of aviation, and aerostation in particular, over the course of a long and colorful career. He set dozens of World and National Records in Altitude, Distance and Duration in a rozier balloon he built himself. He authored the Propane and Fuel Management handbook for the BFA, and contributed to the Balloon Flying Handbook published by the FAA. He served on the launch teams of many of Steve Fossett’s circumglobal balloon attempts, as the crew chief and launch director for the German team on the Chrysler TransAtlantic balloon race, and on Kevin Uliassi’s J. Renee 1 circumglobal attempts. He taught many students how to fly both hot air and gas balloons, and served as an FAA Designated Examiner for balloons. While Nick prided himself on his irascible manner, he was the first to step up to service, to support fellow aeronauts, to research, experiment and publish in the field of safety, and to lend his considerable intellectual prowess to the growing body of knowledge in our sport. As a young man, Nick loved to hunt pheasants and shoot skeet. He regularly participated in fox hunts, and enjoyed riding horses. He enjoyed roller skating, entering dance competitions, and tinkering with carts. After teaching himself Morse Code, Nick obtained a job with the Illinois Central Railroad. Later, in the US Army, he served as a Morse Code Interceptor in Okinawa.

  • Greetings Members and Friends of EAA Chapter 866, One COOL
    August 2016 Submittal Greetings Members and Friends of EAA Chapter 866, Ahoy All Aviation Aficionados! The Arrival of August brings An Abundance of Aeronautical And Aerospace News to Alliterate About! One COOL Presentation If you missed the July chapter meeting last month, you missed a wonderful treat! Our guest speaker, Don Wilson, shared some fascinating inside stories about his tenure as Crew Chief on Air Force One!! He spoke and answered questions for more than an hour and everyone seemed eager to hear more! PLUS, thanks to our newly installed Air Conditioning unit with its “whisper quiet mode”, not only did our guest speaker regale us with great stories, but we could actually hear them too!! Hopefully, we can get Mr. Wilson to return soon for an encore presentation. Convention:EAA Annual Actually, there were at least THREE different week-long “Conventions” held this past month. TWO of them involved a lot of fancy speaking, but only ONE of them involved a lot of Fancy Flying!! You can decide for yourself which convention was the best, I’ve got my mind made up. For us EAA types, one of the biggest and best news-making events of the year is the annual EAA “Convention” at Oshkosh. A lot of folks just call it “Oshkosh”, some call it “AirVenture”, but most of the EAA staffers just call it Well “Convention”. This week-long aviation adventure-fest just wrapped up last week!! Among other things, the Two-Millionth Young Eagle was flown last week at EAA “Convention”!! Way to Go Young Eagle Volunteers! Even though I didn’t make it to go to the big show, I did hear from our chapter member extraordinaire, Deborah Van Treuren, several times.
